Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Empreinte and En Vogue

Part of the Summer release from Chanel, Empreinte and En Vogue (£24
each) offer a muted beige/nude lip or a brighter coral pink.
Swatched below (3 swipes each)
Empreinte is a sheer nude beige with subtle golden micro glitter, its very
similar to the recently launched shade #71 Style, though it
applies less colour and has more of a milky hue about it, of the two I
find Style more flattering.
Swatched below Empreinte on the left, Style on the right (both two swipes)

En Vogue is rather deceptive, in the tube it
looks like a bright coral, however it applies much more pink (it does contain fine micro glitter), and not
nearly so bright.
For those who may have avoided this shade thinking it
too warm, you can see the overriding pink tone when compared to warmer hues
like Misia and Flirt below.
L-R: Misia, En Vogue, Flirt
The lip swatch below of all three shades is
courtesy of my little boy who I foolishly thought I could have in the
same room whilst I quickly took swatches, I really just turned my back
for a moment, so that's pretty quick lipstick application!

When I review
Coco shines I always mention their poor lasting ability, this is again
true of Empreinte, however En Vogue lasts much longer as it stain the
lips a bit so that I have colour pretty much throughout the day.The
texture pf Coco Shines is lightweight and quite hydrating and the finish is very
glossy/shiny.

What is it about little boys and lipstick swatching? My not so little 19 yr old boy was the same at that age, but then I was deeply into MAC Twig and it was as if he had drunk a strong thick chocolate milk which had left a moustache,so deep and even was the mark! I do like the look of these though especially En Vogue. Thanks R xx

Hi Jane,I think I made matters worse as I let him help apply my makeup (only once as it wasn't the cute moment I had anticipated...) and since then he keeps springing up on me when I have any makeup near, offering his "help" xx

Oh, no no no. How dare you, lol! I have been out of the blog-reading loop for about a week, and what do I see here? More obsession-worthy RCS! I sometimes think we feed of one another's RCS obsession. Yes, it doesn't last, but I don't care. It is the most comfortable lipstick I have ever owned besides Jean Queen.

Hi Zuzu,Yes, I don't think we help each other, its all looking at each others goodies and wanting!I'm already thinking about the RCS that are coming out with the fall collectiion..I do have Monte Carlo, I'm sure that is more strawberry though, I'll have to do an update post on my RCS collection at some point so we can see all the shades swatched together.He is a sweetie (most of the time..... well some of it) x
